When the PGR attends a funeral mission, the family receives a plaque and a challenge coin from the PGR. They also receive a “Heart” painted by a volunteer.

Currently PGR is running low on our supply of “Hearts” and we are looking for your assistance in our resupply effort.

Hearts of Hope is a 501(c)(3) pay it forward organization that believes in “Creating Hope, One Heart at a Time”. It is a small token of comfort given to families during a difficult time in their lives.

The “Heart” is a 4 inch clay heart that has been fired and is ready for painting in any way that you would like. There will also be “coloring Book Hearts” for those who say they cant paint. There is a pre-painted pattern in the shape of a heart and you only need to color it. All supplies for painting and coloring will be provided. Donations will be accepted to help cover the costs of the event.

Join us for an afternoon of fun and friendship to resupply the CT PGR supply of Hearts. Spend as much time as you would like to.

Pattie Ptak will oversee the painting project.

So join us between 12 noon and 3pm at the Picnic Grounds, 84 Indian Hill Av Portland, CT ( Where we have our summer picnic).
